1 Directions: Read the passage below and answer the question(s) that follow. The King of the Arctic Did you know that a polar bear cub weighs 1 1/2 pounds at birth? Adult male polar bears can weigh up to 2000 pounds! They grow to be much bigger than humans. Polar bears are beautiful, intelligent creatures and cunning hunters. Slyly, they approach a seal's breathing hole in the ice. Some experts say they cover their black noses with their paws. That way, the seals will not see them coming. They pounce when the seal comes up for air. Although polar bears may face real danger in the future, the polar bear population is not yet declining. Polar bears can live up to 30 years. The main menace to the polar bear is global warming. In the Arctic, this is clear. The ice cap is getting thinner and smaller all the time. It thaws earlier every year. Polar bears have less time to hunt during winter. During summer, polar bears do not hibernate; however, they rest 87% of the time. Winter is when they fatten up. Their black skin soaks up heat and their hair is hollow. Each hair has air in it that insulates them. Their feet are thickly padded. The pads on their feet give off heat, which melts the ice as they walk. This keeps them from skidding. The polar bear has all the equipment it needs to live and travel on ice. However, it is uncomfortable in any temperature above freezing. The polar bear is king of the Arctic, the way a lion is the king of the jungle. Generated On September 24, 2014, 1:47 PM PDT Page 1
2 Directions: Answer the following question(s) relating to the passage titled "The King of the Arctic". 1 TEACHER READS: Which sentence from the passage best supports the idea that polar bears can survive in a cold environment? A. Polar bears can live up to 30 years. B. Winter is when they fatten up. C. Each hair has air in it that insulates them. D. The polar bear is king of the Arctic, the way a lion is the king of the jungle. Master ID: Revision: 1 Correct: C A. Student(s) may have thought that this sentence best suggests that polar bears live long lives and therefore survive cold environments; however, this is not the best support. B. Student(s) may have associated winter with being cold and assumed that getting fatter in the winter is what makes them survive. C. Correct answer D. Student(s) may have thought that because they are king of the arctic they could survive in the cold; however, this is not a detail that supports why they can survive. CCSS.LA.4.RI TEACHER READS: Thomas read "The King of the Arctic" and concluded that the fourth paragraph of the article mostly contains A. an explanation of the hunting habits of polar bears. B. a list of the many dangers that exist for polar bears in the Arctic. C. a variety of reasons that polar bears might become extinct. D. a description of several ways a polar bear has adapted to its habitat. Master ID: Revision: 1 Correct: D A. Student(s) may have confused the content of the second paragraph with the content of the fourth paragraph. B. Student(s) may have noticed that the article highlights at least one threat to the polar bears in the Arctic, but this is contained in the third paragraph, not the fourth paragraph. C. Student(s) may have realized that the article mentions at least one danger to polar bears; however, none of the paragraphs within this passage state that polar bears will become extinct. D. Correct answer CCSS.LA.4.RI.4.2 Generated On September 24, 2014, 1:47 PM PDT Page 2

4 Directions: Read the passage below and answer the question(s) that follow. Crocs and Gators Crocodilians All types of crocodiles and alligators are known as crocodilians. Crocs and gators have many common characteristics which are rather easy to recognize. Both crocs and gators have scaly skin. They also have similar eating habits: they both eat whatever they can catch in the water. When they are along the shoreline, crocodilians may grab a bite by eating birds or small land animals. An interesting fact about crocodilians is that some of them can eat up to half their body weight. They sure have big appetites. Another common characteristic of the crocodile and alligator is how they take care of their young. Unlike most reptiles, mother crocodilians protect their young until they are old enough to take care of themselves. Once their eggs hatch on land, they carefully carry their babies to the water in their mouths. Mother crocodilians will attack any predator in order to protect their babies. Without a doubt, alligators and crocodiles are amazing animals! Crocs versus Gators The most common question about crocodilians is, "What is the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?" Although they share many similarities, there are quite a few differences as well. Although both creatures are called crocodilians, they come from two completely different families. Alligators come from the Alligatoridae family, and the crocodile comes from the Crocodylidae family. Some of the differences between the two are fairly easy to tell. Crocodiles have working salt glands in their mouths. Therefore crocodiles are more able to stand salt and usually can be found in salt water. Unlike the crocs, the gators' glands do not function in the same way. Consequently, alligators are less tolerant to salt and usually live in fresh water. The shape of their snout is another key factor in telling which one is which. Gators have more of a "U" shaped snout, whereas a crocodile's snout is "V" shaped. Another way to tell the difference is by looking at their teeth. The teeth of the crocodile are even and do not overlap each other, but the alligator's top teeth overlap their bottom teeth. Even though some differences are easy to see, their difference in behavior is not as obvious. Many people believe that crocs are more aggressive than gators. Alligators tend to run away when they are alarmed, unlike the ferocious crocodile. Caution!!! It is important to know that these two creatures are quite dangerous. Crocodilians are very territorial and can harm humans if they feel threatened. So if you are ever observing these animals, ALWAYS take caution while around them. Now you Know! Although the two are often confused, knowing the facts can help people tell them apart. Some features are easier to detect than others. Crocodiles and alligators have many similarities and differences. Even though they are of the same species and look a lot alike, they are unique animals with many different characteristics that set them apart. Generated On September 24, 2014, 1:47 PM PDT Page 4
5 Directions: Answer the following question(s) relating to the passage titled "Crocs and Gators". 4 TEACHER READS: Read and complete the task that follows. What is the main idea of the section "Crocs versus Gators"? Use details from the passage to support your answer. Write your answer on the lines below. Master ID: Revision: 1 Rubric: 2 Point(s) 2 A response: Gives sufficient evidence of the ability to justify the inference made Includes specific examples that make clear reference to the text Adequately supports examples with clearly relevant information from the text The main idea of the section "Crocs versus Gators" is that crocodiles and alligators have many differences to help tell them apart. The passage says that alligators and crocodiles are from different families with different names. Also, crocodiles can swim in salt water, while alligators usually do not. This is because crocodiles have working salt glands in their "V" shaped snouts. The passage also tells us that crocodiles are much more violent than alligators. 1 A response: Gives limited evidence to justify the inference made Includes some examples that make clear reference to the text Supports examples with limited information from the text The main idea of the section "Crocs versus Gators" is that crocodiles and alligators have differences. They are from different families and live in different places. Alligators are also more afraid than crocodiles. 0 A response does not receive any credit if it does not provide evidence to support the inference made. There may be no relevant information from the text, or the response may be vague. The main idea of the section "Crocs versus Gators" is that crocodiles and alligators look a lot alike, but may not be that much alike.
